Hit & Run driver sentenced

Hi guys

Here is the question of the day:
What do you get, when you commit felony hit & run by running over a motorcyclist and leaving him laying in the street, while on probation for your 2nd felony?

Answer:
You just get more probation.

Thats right, folks. For your third felony, you just get 3 years probation. You dont even get your drivers license suspended.

His actual sentence was this:
3 years probation
Inpatient drug program (more on this below)
20 hours community service
And thats it.

He had two other cases against him, and they combined all three into one. The other 2 charges? Possesion of controlled substance and probation violation (which was the posession of the controlled substance). I guess committing a felony and causing serious injury to another person, while on felony probation, isnt considered a probation violation.

His other 2 felonies are drug related. This is why he got the inpatient drug program, which I would be surprised if he even spends 3 months in it. The man belongs in a prison, why doesnt Nevada have a 3 strike rule?

The man caused me considerable pain and almost put me into financial ruin. I had to sell my car and I came very close to having my home forclosed on. Spent 2 months in a wheelchair, 2 months on crutches, and still had to walk with a cane for 2 months after the doctor cleared me to walk again. I'm left with a metal plate & screws in my knee, which still hurts quite a bit, and limited range of motion in my left knee and left ankle. I cannot walk without a limp unless i'm wearing soft shoes. Running? forget about it. Skating with my kid, who plays ice hockey? forget about that also. Stairs and inclines are still a challenge.

How much restitution does the guy have to pay me for all the personal injury and financial damage that he caused? Not a dime.

The judge over the case was Nancy Saitta, 8th Judicial District Court, #18 Las Vegas, NV 89155. I think she would be better serving the community by hanging up her robes and working as a clown for Circus Circus.

So be careful on your bikes, guys. Within a few weeks there will be a drug crazed idiot on the roads who has already demonstrated that he will run a biker down and just leave him laying in the street.
